世界主要货币地位变化及其对货币体系的影响

Rank Change of World's Major Currencies and Its Influence on the Currency System

世界货币、世界主要货币和国际本位货币的内涵是不同的。按照世界主要货币的定义,基于各国国内生产总值、开放度和经济稳定性三方面的比较,可以把美元、欧元、日元、英镑、人民币、卢布、卢比、雷亚尔认定为世界主要货币。在世界经济发展不平衡规律的作用下,世界主要货币的地位正在经历着巨大的变化,这种变化给以20世纪70年代末的世界经济格局为基础的国际货币体系带来了很大的影响。不但会促使国际本位货币进一步多元化,也会加大了汇率制度安排的复杂性。同时,世界主要货币地位的变化还巩固了货币非商品化的成果,使本位货币的非商品化趋势更加突出。

Connotations of World currency, world major currencies and the international standard currency are different. According to the definition of world major currencies, based on comparison of GDPs, openness and economic stability of different nations, US dollars, European Euros, Japanese Yens, Pounds, RMBs, Rouble, Rupee, and Brazilian Real are regarded as the world major currencies. Under the influence of unbalanced development of world＇s economy, the ranking of the world major currencies are going through great changes, which will bring great influence upon the world currency system whose foundation is the world economic pattern formed since the end of 1970s. This will not only make the world standard money more diversified but also make the exchange rate system more complicated. Meanwhile, the rank change of world＇s major currencies consolidates the achievements of the non- commercialization of the currencies and brings the trend of the non-commercialization of the standard money more distinct.
